Pawsome Exotic Small Mammal Sanctuary And Rescue

Belton, TX

About

Pawsome is a inhome rescue and sanctuary for small exotic mammals such as rats, mice, guinea pigs, ferrets, hedgehogs, gerbils, sugar gliders and more. Originally founded in 2012, we focus mainly on animals that are deemed "not adoptable" due to issues such as aggression, genetically damaged, old, or sick. If an animal cannot be adopted out due to medical condition(s), age, or veterinarian/animal behavior specialist discretion, they will spend the rest of their days as a permanent sanctuary residence. We are promoters of proper and holistic pet nutrition and care. We work closely with many veterinarians to insure our residents are getting the best care possible. All of our animals are fed fresh mostly organic meals daily and our carnivores are fed a strictly raw meat diet. We pride ourselves with our custom to the animal diets prepared in our kitchen with ingredients sourced locally or grown organically in the USA.

Adoption process

Potential applicant searches adoptable animals and fills out an adoption application. A Pawsome representative then reviews applications and emails you back within 48 hours. Additional information may be requested through their email. After the home visit is completed and approved, payment and signature of adoption contract are completed. Our adoption fee ranges from species and whether they are spayed/neutered. *Adoption fees are non-negotiable*. Once payment and adoption contract are received and completed, you can take home your new pet(s)! We do not rush adoptions. This is for the benefit of the animal(s) and the potential adopters. Depending on your situation, the animal(s), and our availability an adoption process can take a few days to over a week. Our rescue is CLOSED to the public to prevent any illness from being brought in. If you wish to meet the animal(s) before adoption, we can arrange a Meetup. This can happen in your home during a home check, at an adoption event, at a foster's home, or another location.
